The government has constituted a group of ministers (GoM) to supervise foodgrain procurement in the coming seasons. The GoM held its first meeting at the Punjab Bhawan here on Tuesday.

Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian is its chairman, while Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak, Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar and Water Resources Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal are its members. Principal Secretary, Food and Civil Supplies, Rahul Tiwari gave a presentation on the planning being done to ensure hassle-free paddy procurement.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
